Sum Total Cost Of All Cables In Your Rig?


What is the total cost of all cables in your rig, as it stands today? (All interconnects, power cables, speaker cables, digital cables, etc)

Just a curious question....

I don’t think I paid full retail for all of my cables,  but over 55 years I bet I’ve spent $35-45k in speaker, interconnect, power cables and bulk cable and various ends. and I have resold at least half of them. So knock at least half off the above numbers. The good news is except for maybe one digital cable, I’m done and I will probably sell a few more power and interconnects I’m not using anymore. 

Maybe $5K. My most expensive cables are for the speakers, with modest interconnects.  Not sold on the value of power cables at all.  

I’ve built my own cables. 2 vhaudio flavor 2 for both of my genelec 8050b. Feeding from latest ipad with usb c >ifi iusb> musical fidelity DDC-> modded XDA2. All digital connects are Helix design (silver). Because both genelecs are powered, I was able to do AB test on all cables. All upgrade made audible changes, specially from. Power cable. Found NOS incomplete high end cable from 80s. Shame to say I’ve spent less than $300 for all. 

I’ll approach this a little differently. My cabling is worth about 5% of my total investment
